CrowDsourcing COndensate Database & Encyclopedia

The latest release was supported by the #condesathon joined by @mpi-cbg.de condensate community🤩

Big #thankyou to all the participants from
@hymanlab.bsky.social, @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social and von Appen labs for your support and enthusiasm!💜

☀️summer is here -
and so is CD-CODE v1.10 release!🤩

💡CD-CODE has now 719 manually curated #condensates (and ~40% are #human associated!)

💡Check out new #condensates and updated #protein - condensate connections at cd-code.org

Thanks to the authors for writing the script and to @hymanlab.bsky.social and to @mpi-cbg.de for sharing it!

UniProt UniProt is the world's leading high-quality, comprehensive and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information.

We're really excited that CD-CODE is now cross-referenced by #UniProt and has already been included in the latest release: www.uniprot.org/release-note...

Spreading knowledge about #biomolecular #condensates 🥳

🔊☎️Calling the hive mind of the #Condensate Community of #bluesky: Join us in curating the CD-CODE!

Do you have a favorite condensate or are researching some that are not yet in cd-code.org?

We want your input and expertise!🧠
🔗Easy sign-up here: cd-code.org/signup
and add a new condensate 🎦⤵️

☝️SG is one of the most populous condensate in CD-CODE, with human (cd-code.org/condensate/D...) and yeast (cd-code.org/condensate/E...) proteomes being the most characterized up to date!
Are you a stress granule expert or enthusiast?
🦉Join us as a curator: cd-code.org/signup

Various species have different Stress Granule proteomes:
🔵Translationally stalled mRNAs,
🔵translation initiation factors,
🔵RNA-binding proteins, and
🔵non-RNA-binding proteins
are among the main constituents of SGs.

🚨Condensate of the Month is Stress Granule!

#StressGranules (#SGs) are dynamically forming cytoplasmic condensates that form in response to various cellular stresses.
🤩In CD-CODE there are more than 10 species and more than 1300 #protein associations described for SGs.

🍂🌿Latest #CDCODE release:
🥳Version 1.07 is here: cd-code.org

🌟We focused on improving #species attributions and updating missing #condensate features.

Help us with your condensate expertise!🧠
